• Loathe as I am to inspire partisanship, I have to align myself with Governor Ed Rendell this evening; to paraphrase- I want to crush them!
• Swallowing hard for a purchase sure to go the way of my 'brother' electric typewriter, probably before I finish this sentence, I now have the capacity to assign acres of vinyl to the giga-goblins. The guy who checks out your receipt on the way out the door says; "What's with vinyl comin' back" From his lips to God's ears.
• Today Delaware made it so easy to cast a vote for Joe Biden. Pithiest lawn signs ever; "Delaware's Joe Biden".
• I had an interesting job last week; painting a 62' high burro for a Carnival Cruise commercial. Thousands of Philadelphia children gathered for an event culminating in the not breaking open of the [Guinness Book of World Records certified] World's Largest Pinata (sorry, can't locate tilde). This time not required to sign a confidentiality agreement I'll disclose; they're sending it back to L.A. to re-shoot. Philly Police put on the brakes- lives would have been lost in the rabid grab, I feared for my own. My observation was that more than just a handful of that crowd needed an introduction to Mr. Green Vegetable. The crowd's disappointment at being turned away after waiting for four hours to get in the gate [but after the helicopter shot was in the can] was probably best expressed by a nine-year-old girl carrying a 'Hannah Montana' purse; "BURN IT DOWN!!!"
• Who else senses an abnormally high populous of disingenuous lesbians on FOXNews?
• Responding on-air to a collegue, [ingenious] Rachel Maddow says "he [Barrack Obama] complimented my pants." I can think of three ways to take that.
• To anyone who thinks my post, 'drapes', was too persnickety- don't make me come to your house, drink too much bourbon, and re-arrange your furniture. It's happened. (Okay, it happens often)
• Sports analogies- please stop. As hard as Chris Matthews is to stomach when he latches on to some obscure film analogy for political events, so too is any reference to a situation in a game I do not follow- and that would be almost everything outside of Men's Diving. If there is something to be said about political risk-taking, please do not employ a 'Sports vis a vis Catholic' description like "Hail Mary" phrase to say it- you lose me.
• Two years in, Undecided = contempt for pollsters, unless they prefer "addle-brained".
• My 50th birthday is two days off. My wish list includes; international food packaging with homoerotic inferences, i.e. Cock Soup, a 'Laverne & Shirley' lunch box, Arizona quarters, a replacement 'Alf' coffee mug, sugar-free candied ginger (good luck), a 'Last Supper' belt buckle, and melon-ballers of every size. No rush, I stay 49 until this list is realized.
